“Good Morning, I trust my email will find you in good spirits.
I was a patient at Akeso, Richards Bay in June/July of 2025. 4 days in, I I met SK, he approached me and explained about the preliminary test that he does to test for sleep apnea. Being a person that easily gets excited about medical things I agreed, little did I know that my world was about to change.
The test picked up that I have mild sleep apnea, the condition was then explained to me by my psychiatrist, I was definitely not for the CPAP machine, I requested we explore other options as there was no way I would be going on the machine. I was referred to an ENT who performed surgery to open the airway however that did not work. I must admit I was told that there was a 25% chance that it would work, 25% is still a number, right, it was better than zero so I went for it but to my greatest disappointment I was back at the ENT's rooms a month later feeling the same way I did before the op.
In October I was on a flight from Johannesburg to Durban, I happened to sit next to a lady who had her CPAP machine, I asked her about it and she told me it had changed her life, this got me curious as to what this machine was actually all about. I contacted SK who connected me to Ryno, we got the processes started and within weeks I had my machine. This small piece of work truly is a game changer!
My depression and anxiety have subsided, daylight fatigue is a thing of the past. I used to struggle at work and on weekends I slept day and night, I had no quality of life and my poor husband supported me all the way through regardless of the fact that my poor quality of life affected him as well. I've been on different kinds of antidepressants since 2020, I was just not getting better however months after getting onto the CPAP my psychiatrist started weaning me off the medication. I am a different person altogether, loving life and enjoying every moment of it. I am no longer phased by mishaps, I'm a lot calmer and more productive at work. Work politics no longer gets under my skin, I laugh almost everything off, I am more confident and absolutely loving the space I'm in. The support I have received from Ryno has been amazing!
Well done! for changing lives, not only have you changed my life but you have also revived my marriage! Keep on keeping on, there's millions out there that need their lives changed through CPAP therapy.
Thank you a million tons!
Kindest Regards” - Mrs Thuthukile Mkhize
